#5-HOME AND AUTUMN HARVEST HOMELIFE Well two months now and just about settled in. The week days are very nice and quiet here; inside the house and outside. I am slowly adapting to the unpredictable weekends where I must share my huge ‘under-used-by-me’ lounge room occasionally. I tend to be out for all of either Saturday or Sunday. I always enjoy my walks on Sunday morning. At midday, most ... Read Full Entry

FROM CHINA TO KOREA I have recently returned from two trips to China teaching English and I am about to start teaching again; this time in South Korea. I love travel, especially in Asia and by working there, feel I experience the country more than by just passing thru it. My previous travels before China were 15 months in North America and Europe in 1975-76 and many South East Asian countries in 1980-81 for another 9 months. After almost another quarter of a century living in Australia, I got the travel bug once again. This time I decided to do it slightly differently by working. I hear... full info

Oh! terrible boys and girls!
you had a struggle with terrible teenagers. I think that they are not used to ready to study their class some minutes early. It was very funny of them operating the ceiling fans in a cold day. they were over energetic in P.E.? funny. I read your article.

Fabulous Autumn Colours!
Hi John, finally able to get onto Travelblog. Still a bit of a slow download for photos but I can actually log on too! Best get working on my much neglected blog! Colours are fantastic! Haven't seen such a spectacular display since I was in Quebec and Maine many years ago.

Hello from Murwillumbah
Hi John, Thank you for all the photos. There can never be enough photos for us. We are most interested to see where you are and how everything looks. Your abode looks very comfortable. Smart kitchen, too. How do you go with buying and cooking food? Do you eat a main meal at school? Do you recognise all the foods that are in the markets/shops? The neighbouring houses look very smart. I can imagine that it must be very pleasant living in a small town than in a city. I would like that, too. The autumn colours against the brown hills look beautiful. But it must be getting cold there now. Hope you have enough warm clothes and shoes. Thanks again for this little window into your life in Korea. Cheers, Marilyn

Great life you're holding
Hi, John, thanks for always keeping me updated about your life in Korea. To teacher and spend life in county seems more comfortable than in the city. You're taking more beautiful photos and having more private time to enjoy, organize and record the drips and draps. About the 5-10 pages long article the school leader asked, I'm pretty pretty sure you can hand over a very satisfying paper to him, just like writing on ur blog!Or, you may just show him your wonderful blog. PS: Add a few flatter words to the school and the people probably will be more pleasing..! Christmas is coming soon, have any plans? Any holidays? Our spring festival will come soon, also. Wish you a happy happy christmas! Ciao and take care! Tracy Yang

Hi John
Hi John, This is Charlotte, who you met at the Gyeongju workshop. Just dropped by to read your blog, and wanted to say how interesting it is! You've captured a lot of things about Korea really well...it makes me want to write my blog all over again! I hope you are well and not too cold in this Winter weather...a little different from Oz right now I shouldn't think! Take care, and hopefully we can meet at some point in the future.
